Connections, the international private community for senior executives in high-end travel, is set to showcase the second event in its Adventure series in the Azores, Portugal, from October 27-30, 2019.
Connections Adventure will take place at Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico, São Miguel and follows the success of the inaugural adventure event, which showcased Connections’ award-winning networking formula in Slovenia in 2018. This year’s event will once again connect high-end adventure focused buyers with suppliers who offer extraordinary travel experiences with a strong adventure element.
Connections Adventure has been embraced by its host destination, and will run in partnership with Turismo De Portugal, Visit Azores, Bensaude Hotels Collection, Futurismo Azores Adventure, National Geographic Traveller, GLP Films, Discovery Portugal and Wetu. Delegates attending will represent the best in their class within the high-end adventure industry. Over the course of the event buyers and suppliers will be introduced through one-to-one meetings and experiences, networking lunches, dinners and group sessions in an intimate and relaxed environment.
Marta Guerreiro, regional secretary for energy, environment and tourism of the Government of the Azores said: “We are extremely excited about working with the Connections team to bring their unique event concept to the Azores. Their personal approach to developing meaningful business relationships among attendees has proven to be effective, and we believe that their second event in the adventure sector will support the Azores archipelago towards achieving global visibility as a luxury travel destination.”
Micaela Giacobbe, founder of Connections, added: “We are thrilled to be delivering Connections Adventures in the Azores. As one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets, it is an inspiring destination for senior executives within the high-end adventure realm to do business, while discovering the multitude of world-class activities that it has to offer.”
